Re: Question about Zbrush and Max
Definitely start with 3DS Max, because it is important to learn how to create models with clean topology before you jump into using tools or plugins that speed up or automate the process. That being said Zbrush can certainly be used to work on hard surface models. If you are looking for tutorials check this out It has a so… -
Re: New computer, amd/intel?
Thanks mark, much appreciated. Since i've already got my nvidia gpu i think i'l just have to stick with intel and pay a bit more. As it is now i've got a nice 650w psu that has treated me well for the last few years so i'l just drop that in from my old system, so using those part recomendations i'm sitting around what i… -
Re: FF Advent children
I've been drolling over this for months. The new trailer just made the wait even more painful. My god I wish Square would have used this as their theatrical release instead of that damn spirits within. They could have been major players in the 3d animated film area. Oh, if you are a fan of FF7, have you seen the intro from… -
Re: Crazy idea. Monthly community tutorial-workshop.
could also supply source files as examples, and notate them in a text file to supplement the text. Thinking for a texture type workflow, you'd need to show progress of the starting point, goals of the piece, reference material, and then progress. To wrap it all up, having that psd available to thumb through, that had all… -
Re: Tiling texture program?
When I use a soft edge this tends to cause a hazy mess around the edge of where I paint, quite noticeable when the image is tiled. To avoid this I use nearly the hardest brush, and clone small areas at a time. I also constantly re-pick the sampling point, so I'm not repeating the same pattern from elsewhere. A couple… -
Re: Marketing for Artists
Thanks for the kind words, guys! Spacemonkey, well, clearly your work is closer to the high end of the spectrum, and major congrats for that. Slayerjerman, it's not just about that, it's just great to surround yourself with friends that share the same interests. Being social is its own reward, and it really makes me happy… -
Re: Request for model testing / review
Seems the ragdoll only activates if you're ducked. The model installed fine however. The skin is lacking in definition; remember that a "bump grain" texture overlay won't solve everything, it just bloats the filesize by tons and it's not really pretty, heck there's even purple/green pixel spots in the detail grain, so imo… -
Re: Tomb raider legend
I'm liking what I am seeing, it makes me all nostalgic about a decade ago when I first played Tomb Raider. The one odd thing I saw is the side-by-side vids between PS2 and XBOX 360, it looks like they might've upped the shader quality and textures, but otherwise, same geometry all around. Though this game lends itself to a… -
Re: how do you keep a consistant light source
Too bad answers.com is WRONG! Wrong, wrong, RAWNG. (back on topic) "BIG SHAPE -> LITTLE SHAPE" -what order do you paint?? Almost always: Color Detail pass (broad strokes, shapes, etc - figuring out what's going to be dark and what's going to be light) Detail pass 2 (more refined shapes - musculature, features, etc) Detail… -
Re: FunkySmooth
just used it in CS4 on XP 32bit SP3. kinda works similar to lasy mouse.o nly used a mouse and for five minute but seems nice. if you move the mouse to fast it seems to freak and give you more strait lines. slow down and you get some smooth curve that look nice with some brushes. have some problems with ending strokes…
